Welcome to Camp Alcee

To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish national emergency centers on military installations. [More]
Alcee, of course, is against you having guns. Because you're racist.

So it's a good thing they'll make sure you're disarmed before they take you pris... uh... let you in.

Seems there's so much interest the website can't handle the traffic.

Hastings's prejudice speaks louder than David Duke's.

It would have to be an extinction-level event for me to leave my home and my guns (and stored food, water, ammunition, medicine, clothes and PRIVACY). Since I own myself, I decide where I will put myself. If I suffer consequences for bad judgment, that's what it means to be an adult and a sovereign citizen.

I, of course, will not go into their prison camps.

unlike work camps, the people will line up for these. free food. free shelter. a place to sleep. everyone will be encouraged to do their fair share.

a host of little soviet unions.

Once they start using these camps any time a cop shows up anyplace he/she is going to have a huge problem. Wait until all this goes down and the cops try and pull people over for some BS ticket. People will be freaked out thinking they will be shipped off to a camp. This will be the start of the end. Once people feel they have nothing to lose its all over.
This is really bad news for everyone in this country.

If these helpful government camps had leather couches, big screens, granite countertops and Xbox 360s, you'd have to guard the entrance to keep people OUT of them.

Yayy, living history is so much fun.

Classic line, Dock! and so true.

Friend of mine forwarded an old Salon.com story talking about the "Bush/Cheney administration's plans for detention camps." A veteran we know said it was just anti-Republican propaganda. He was in the nuclear submarine service and supposedly had a high security clearance. I'd like to think he was right, but after Waco -- 51 days of siege, psychological torture and a final invasion using CS gas so flammable in indoor concentrations that it is banned for use against the enemy in WAR -- I'd believe almost anything about the feds.
Talk about camps was prominent in the early '90s. Before 9/11, it was hard to convince people to leave what looks like a secure place "for their own safety." As we saw in New Orleans, convincing isn't what they have in mind. They will tackle old, frail ladies and throw them in the trucks. They will prod the reluctant with muzzles, and I wonder what would happen if bayonets were issued.
A teacher here is being prosecuted for assault for pushing three students against a wall for not following his instructions during a fire drill. People are on the edge, man. Anywhere, you can find them in snapping range. Cops and military included.
There's no reason for them to come into my neighborhood. None.

Defender: Think "compartmentalization". Why would a bubblehead's high security clearance lead him to being told about secret prison camps? There's no need-to-know there.

I've finally started reading The Gulag Archipelago. AvgJoe, you should read it. The People might not resist as energetically as you think...

You're right, JH.

He goes on:
Please do remember that in 1984, the Russian Bear really was ‘out there’ and the cold war had not experienced Glasnost/Perestroika. The plan included how to evacuate people from major population centers that would be uninhabitable for 50 years or more (and keep them from going back in) & how a government that was simultaneously devastated physically and waging full-scale warfare at far-flung places could meet the needs of the (remaining) public. It’s a scary scenario to plan for, but in those days it was a real possibility, and not to have plans would have been malfeasance."

So what's the excuse TODAY (and by today I mean Feb. 4 2009)? Other than the fact that Russia and China AND Iran AND Leftist South America are all getting increasingly buddy-buddy. And N. Korea is testing nuclear missiles.

Guy I know, a retired Army Reserve colonel, said it was the first he had heard of the camps, too. No need to know either, I guess, just go here, pick up these people, take them there.
In a way, that bothers me more. No doubt the feds count on things happening too fast for there to be reasonable questions. Constitutional questions.
All the more reason...
And remember, Uncle says waterboarding isn't torture, it's "persuasion."

If I remember correctly, Operation Hastings was a rough one.
